| Summary: | This article examines the missiological challenge of group identity within Tibetan Buddhist contexts from both theological and sociocultural perspectives. It asserts that Paul’s comments in 1 Corinthians 8–10 represent a paradigmatic theological boundary for issues of identity in missiological practice, and it briefly examines recent discussions of group identity in missiological literature. As a resource for missionaries and mission organizations, this article explores potential pathways by which they might address the question of group identity and belonging within Tibetan Buddhist contexts. It also advocates for greater missiological reflection among scholar-practitioners working within the wider Buddhist world. |
